Leise, what a lovely thing to be able to say about your spouse. Just beautiful. Clearly, you deserve such a partner! Happy anniversary.
So sorry you feel sucky, Suzi. Healing ~ma headed your way.
I love the idea of confectionery support. Tangible and tasty.
I would love a TJ's care package but know not what to wish for.
I know some of us have shared concerns here before about having young kindergartners (and so on). I haven't read this entire article but it seems to offer some reassurance. [link]
One neighbor just volunteered her husband (who I am also friends with) to fix my ceiling. However, I would only do that in an emergency, as I'm sure she'd get the evil eye for doing so. Another neighbor's boytoy is going to be in town for a month and is looking for handyman work, so she's seeing if he can do it. Top that off with: the new neighbor's boyfriend works in construction.
I have an embarrassment of neighbors!
Suzi, meara, hope you both feel better!
I'm happy to send TJ's care packages to any Buffistas that need them, mid-October-ish.

Both Emmett and Matilda are September babies, and I'm very glad I moved them up instead of held them back. In fact, I'm quite disgruntled about the changing law in California which will make the cut-off date Sept 1. It goes into effect too late to hold Matilda back, but I think it's a shitty idea.
It used to be a thing, especially in Bitches, that chocolate accompanied a tape of a missed show, or a mix cd to cheer someone up, or a tiara or blanket in the exchanges. I kind of miss that tradtion.
My birthday's in February, and I was moved ahead a year, thus was the youngest in my class, and emotionally quite behind my classmates. It was not a helpful move for me.
Hot tea with honey and a shot of whiskey maybe?
Been there done that. The whiskey is nice, but hasn't really helped with the feeling better thing.
CJ isn't home yet from his weekend in the wilds of Wyoming. Should be here in about an hour. I think I'll need to send him straight to bed so he doesn't get sick.
Where in WY did he go? Southern half, I guess?
I'm also happy to send a holiday TJs package to someone, once their seasonal stuff like peppermint JoJos come out.
Eta: And organize senders and receivers, if people want to email me.
